Before becoming a house, it was already a meeting point in Matozinhos.
In Matosinhos, there is a house that doesn’t need to invent a story to have personality because it has already lived one.
At the beginning of the last century, the old Mercearia e Confeitaria 31 de Julho operated here, probably one of the oldest grocery stores in the city, with a luxurious past… or at least one filled with sugar, codfish, and credit on the notebook.
Long before supermarkets, 10-minute deliveries, and building WhatsApp groups, this was where neighbors met to buy bread, cookies, rice… and catch up on each other’s lives.
They say warm bread was sold here before Wi-Fi existed, and customers would come in to buy flour… and leave two hours later because they found half the parish chatting… with cold bread!
These walls have seen generations, heard stories, recipes, football debates, and certainly phrases like:
— “Neighbor, just put it on the tab.”
Today, the old grocery store has become an absolutely unique house, full of character and authenticity — the kind that rarely appears on the market.
It is heritage, memory, and a living piece of Matosinhos’ history.
✔️ Ideal for those who value homes with soul
✔️ For lovers of architecture and history
✔️ Or for those who think modern houses have everything… except personality
Because any house can be new.
But few can say they were already part of Matosinhos’ history over 100 years ago.
A rare opportunity in Matosinhos for those who know old houses are not built again — and stories like this even less so.
